Trinity Prep’s MyTPS Portal is designed to connect parents with resources and information.

MyTPS is Trinity Prep’s secure access for parents to important school resources. Current parents have access to a searchable and printable online student/parent directory as well as access to the following: 

Parents can also view a digital version of mid-semester and semester progress reports, including comments in the "MyTPS Documents" link. Please direct any questions about accessing the portal to helpdesk@trinityprep.org; for questions specifically related to archived progress reports, contact the School’s registrar at watsont@trinityprep.org.

TPS Senior Has Achieved Two Distinctions from the University of Virginia

Congratulations to Ryan Psik ‘19! He has achieved the dual distinction of being selected for both the Echols Scholar and the Jefferson Scholar programs at the University of Virginia.

 

Echols Scholars:

The UVA Office of Admission looks for academic excellence, intellectual leadership, and evidence of the ability to grapple with complex topics. Students selected for the Echols Scholars program come from a diversity of ethnic and socioeconomic backgrounds, urban and rural geographic locations, and public and private schools with various programs and opportunities. What matters is that the student has taken the strongest academic program and course of study possible in his or her school and has performed well in it. The Office of Admission is also interested in academic leaders and intellectual risk-takers. We seek "active and aggressive" learners and evidence in a student’s record that demonstrates independence, initiative, intellectual versatility, and the ability to thrive in a creative and mentally engaging community.

 

Jefferson Scholars:

Awarded solely on the basis of merit, Jefferson Scholarships are granted to candidates who have undergone a rigorous selection process. Students are placed into regional competitions which determine the 120 finalists who are invited to Charlottesville for the Jefferson Scholarship Selection weekend in late March. The goal of nurturing future leaders is at the heart of the Jefferson Scholars Foundation’s mission: to attract to the University the most promising leaders, scholars, and citizens in the world. This award is​ Intended to cover the entire cost of attendance for four years at the University of Virginia and includes an extensive supplemental enrichment program that supports and nurtures these students throughout their four years at U.Va.

Twenty-one Trinity Prep students from the Thespian Troupe 1780 represented Trinity Prep at the State Festival in Tampa March 20 to 23. In order to attend the state festival, all participants had earned superior ratings at the District Festival last fall.

Our one act of the play “The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time” that had won at the District Level earned Trinity Prep another superior rating. Trent Bangle’s costume design for Medea, that had won Best in Show at the District level, also earned a superior rating. Other events: large group musical, small group musical, ensemble acting, monologues, and play-writing all earned excellent ratings. The students attended classes, workshops, and performances, and connected with students from across the state. 

If you missed seeing a performance of “The Curious Incident…,” or would like to see it again, please plan on seeing it when they perform at the Orlando Fringe Festival in May. They will be in the Brown Venue, inside of the Orlando Shakespeare Theatre on Friday, May 17 at 5:30 PM, Saturday, May 25 at 8:45 PM or Sunday, May 26 at 1:15 PM.
